Abstract:
Objective To explore the perioperative case management of locally advanced breast cancer patients with skin grafting.
Methods Thirty-two locally advanced breast cancer patients were selected for the whole case management. The whole case management mode was set up in the form of a group. In perioperative period and after discharge, case nurses provided comprehensive care to patients.
Results All the skin grafts on the chest of 32 patients survived at Ⅰ stage, and the survival rate was 100%. Postoperative skin graft infection occurred in 1 case, the infection rate was 3.1%. The average wound healing time was 14 days. The score of Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) at three months after discharge was significantly lower than that at discharge and admission (P < 0.01).
Conclusion Positive and effective perioperative whole case management can relieve patients' emotions and promote their recovery.
